Its taken me ages to update my blog - apologies for those of you who were waiting to see how she turned out - since my last post things have been abit hectic (and dramatic - my eldest managed to fall off his scooter and broke both his wrists and knocked a front tooth out!) and I haven't had much time to update anyone until now.Well, as the title of this post indicates it all turned out to be abit of an (expensive) disaster.... I'm not sure why, maybe I poured in to much resin at a time (although I used the same amount in the previous couple of layers with no ill effects), or maybe the resin reacted with the polymer clay, or maybe it was because it had started raining and some rain blew in through the open door and landed in the resin before it cured - whatever the reason the outcome was that the resin cracked really badly, and managed to generate so much heat that it also warped the glass bowl! I have decided that resin is definatly not my friend - it stinks to high heaven, makes me feel ill, and gives very unpredictable results when used in large quanties, so for the foreseeable future I think I'll be giving it a wide berth.Everytime I look at herI feel really bad lol - shes looking at me so imploringly! I think I may have to chop her head off and use it for something else because I really like her face...Anyway - here is a photo of the horrible mess I made....

Welcome

See what I'm working on and watch how it takes shape from a blob of clay to a finished piece.
